The Senate Health and Human Resources Committee met briefly to discuss HB 2459.
House Bill 2459 relates to regulation of health care and the certificate of need process. The amendment proposed by council was adopted and the bill was then swiftly sent to the floor of the Senate with the recommendation that it pass.
Before adjournment, Senator Trump (R-Morgan) said, “I think we would be remiss if we didn’t recognize that our decisions didn’t affect real people.” He then went on to recognize the secretary of DHHR, someone who has attended every meeting of the committee.
